McCain: Politics as usual

Sorry, but I just can't resist one more link. This is a great article, read the whole thing. But considering the OTHER McCain attack ad (that is equally ridiculous, asserting that Obama didn't visit the troops because he hates them, making no mention of the fact that at the last minute the Pentagon specifically forbade him to make the visit with the staff he was traveling with) this especially jumps out:

"What the McCain campaign doesn’t want people to know, according to one GOP strategist I spoke with over the weekend, is that they had an ad script ready to go if Obama had visited the wounded troops saying that Obama was...wait for it...using wounded troops as campaign props. So, no matter which way Obama turned, McCain had an Obama bashing ad ready to launch. I guess that’s political hardball. But another word for it is the one word that most politicians are loathe to use about their opponents—a lie."

I was depressed before, but now I'm starting to get ticked off.
